Finished Size

Gauge

Notes

I made this for a 13.3 macbook, obviously you can slightly change the size in order to fit any sized laptop.

This is crocheted in one piece with the seams up the side.

The Pattern

Using your first color, chain the number of stitches that is necessary for the width of the laptop. I made mine almost exactly the width of the laptop because it will stretch out when you put your laptop in it.

1) hdc in each st for 4 rows
2) Switch to second color and hdc in each st for 4 rows
3) Repeat 1 and 2 8 times
4) Repeat 1
5) Switch to second color and hdc in each st for 2 rows
6) Repeat 2
7) Using Color 1, hdc in each st for 2 rows
8) hdc in first ten sts, chain 2 sts skip 2 sts, hdc in each st until 12 sts from the end, CO 2 sts, skip 2 sts, hdc in each st to end
9) Using color 2, hdc in each st for 2 rows.
8) Repeat 5

Line up the stripes for the front and the back leaving the last 5 stripes at the top in order to have it fold over the front and sew the seams up.

Buttons:
Chain 1 st
hdc 12 sts in the 1 st

sc 12 sts around the 12 sts you just created.

place and sew in buttons... weave in ends and enjoy your new laptop envelope!!

This is awesome. I'm about to upgrade from my 12" iBook, which I have a cover for, to a 15" MacbookPro, and obviously I'll need a cover. Has the cover stretched any? I was thinking about sewing in some felt on the inside for a bit more stability in the shape.

The yarn stretches out pretty much, but if you want to be sure, just crochet up a few rows and see if it fits. I think I might make a new one for my new macbook (one of the aluminum ones) and try to put a liner in with fabric or something and if I do I will update the pattern or put a new one up
